New Day - $30k Challenge

I found this over at the Warrior Forum. I fellow Warrior is doing a $30k Challenge - 30 days to $30k. This is great stuff. I always enjoy watching these challenges. Not only are the interesting to watch, but they usually provide a great deal of insight to making that much money in a short period of time.

The one thing you have to remember with these challenges, is that the person putting it on is trying to make a lot of money in a short amount of time, which is fine, but not a sustainable business plan. Most of the time, its a report or something easy to do. Sell something for $7 bucks and achieve your goal, but is that goal a monthly goal? Can you do this every month? Is this a product/service people will need 5, 10, 15 years down the road? And at the end of the day, will it pay the bills? If yes, then continue your success.

When setting up these goals and achieving them, try to achieve $30k residually. Make a product/service that people need over and over again. If you could show how you made $30k every month, starting new businesses, that would be a great experiment.

This goes back to the $15k challenge that Dan Raine started a while back. That was a great challenge, as he's very much into starting businesses that last the test of time.

Remember, making money on the internet isn't really that hard, but setting up businesses that compound residually every month is the real goal you should be setting for yourself.

Where's your $40k a year blog?

Want a couple of new ways to monetize your website/blog? Search Engine Journal interviewed Ken Savage who has a blog on diabetes and is raking it in.

Since launching a couple blogs in various niches, I think this is an excellent post to remind me that AuctionAds seem to work. I still haven't given them a try, but I have a couple other sites that are non-blogs, which would be perfect for using AuctionAds. AA is great for sites that are hard to monetize with Adsense. I have a few of those.

On a side note, I went to Ken's blog and his post with the old lady fight/300 spoof was HILARIOUS! I haven't laughed out load like that in a little while.
